The Official Prince William & Catherine (Kate) Thread

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has been married for 7 years so she's got way more experience then Kate.

Kate's been famous for a long time as William's girlfriend, but she never participated in royal duties before the engagement. It's still all really new for her even though it kind of seems like it shouldn't since they've been together so long.

I don't think I said anything harsh. I merely said she didn't seem comfortable speaking publicly compared to the other 3. There's no doubt she's well educated but public speaking and being knowledgeable are 2 different things, and being able to convey your thoughts eloquently and precisely is part of public speaking, and I don't think she's there yet. It's not an insult, I would find the same situation daunting. I just personally think she's done limited speaking at engagements because her abilities aren't yet refined. No, she did not sign up to be a spokesperson but she married into a family of public service so it is expected she be involved. I think she's been doing exactly what she needs to and that she'll continue on nicely.

I never said you said anything harsh. I was just commenting on your speculation that said it would be a shame if she weren't anything more than a pretty head of air. I just disagreed with that part, but agree with the rest of what you are saying.

ITA! She does look healthier and her eye makeup improved tremendously as well. Im just bit curious though, isn't it very cold in England atm? Why is she wearing so little warm clothes? Im heading there in about 10 days and not sure what to pack

She's probably just going straight from the car into a warm place, no need for a coat..

London's been having some strange weather lately, up and down, very unpredictable...
